3. ❖ LITRATURE REVIEW:
Purpose of a literature review?
• Demonstrate your familiarity with the topic and its scholarly context
• Develop a theoretical framework and methodology for your research
• Position your work in relation to other researchers and theorists
• Show how your research addresses a gap or contributes to a debate
• Evaluate the current state of research and demonstrate your knowledge of the
scholarly debates around your topic.
1. Search for relevant literature
2. Evaluate sources
• What question or problem is the author addressing?
• What are the key concepts and how are they defined?
• What are the key theories, models, and methods?
• Does the research use established frameworks or take an innovative approach?
• What are the results and conclusions of the study?
• How does the publication relate to other literature in the field? Does it confirm,
add to, or challenge established knowledge?
• What are the strengths and weaknesses of the research?
3. Identify themes, debates and gaps
4. Outline the structure
5. Write your literature review

CASE STUDY
Analyze the different buildings related to your design and design your building
based on these designed buildings.
❖ DESIGN CONSIDERATION:
1) Place – This element is not just about your literal location, but how the interior
relates to the exterior, and how your space will help you find comfort as well as
dominion.
2) Form – The way a building comes together isn’t just about outside and inside. It
is also about the beauty found in articulating a functional structure.
3) Rhythm – All spaces have a rhythm — a flow and interconnection of how the
spaces interact and are separate from one another.
4) Light – The light in a space matter around the clock. Lighting can help create a
mood for each room, and the entire structure of the building. External lighting
can also contribute to the mood and feel of a space outdoors.
5) Materials – In order to make a space as artful as it is functional, the right
materials must be selected. With the proper materials, a space is transformed
and will bring the other elements into focus.
6) Beauty – These five preceding elements all contribute to the beauty of the
space, but the overall line-up, scale, and proportion contribute to the aesthetics
of a dream space as well.

❖ ARCHITECTURAL PROGRAM:
(Basically, Calculations a Design)
1.Research the project type
• The types of spaces frequently included in the building type,
• The space criteria (number of square feet per person or unit) for those spaces,
• Typical relationships of spaces for these functions,
• Typical ratios of net assignable square footage (NASF—areas that are assigned to a
function) to gross square footage (GSF—total area to the outside walls) for this
building type,
• Typical costs per square foot for this building type,
• Typical site requirements for the project type,
• Regional issues that might alter the accuracy of the data above in the case of this
project, and

5. • Technical, mechanical, electrical, security, or other issues unique to the project type.
2.Establish goals and objectives
• Organizational Goals: What are the goals of the owners? Where do they see their
organization headed? How does this architectural project fit into this broad picture?
• Form and Image Goals: What should be the aesthetic and psychological impact of
the design? How should it relate to the surroundings? Should its image be similar to or
distinct from its neighbors? From other buildings belonging to the owner that are
located elsewhere? Are there historic, cultural, and/or context implications?
• Function Goals: What major functions will take place in the building? How many
people are to be accommodated? How might the building design enhance or impact
occupant interactions?
• Economic Goals: What is the total project budget? What is the attitude toward initial
costs versus long-range operating and maintenance costs? What level of quality is
desired (often stated in relation to other existing projects)? What is the attitude toward
conservation of resources and sustainability (energy, water, etc.)?
• Time Goals: When is the project to be occupied? What types of changes are expected
over the next 5, 10, 15, and 20 years?
• Management Goals: These goals are not so much an issue of the nature of the project
as they are the circumstances of the owner, clients, programmer, or architect. For
example, perhaps the schematic design must be completed in time for a legislative
request application deadline.
3.Gather relevant information
• Facility users, activities, and schedules: Who is doing what, how many people are
doing each activity, and when are they doing it?
• What equipment is necessary for activities to function properly? What is the size of
the equipment?
• What aspects of the project need to be projected into the future? What is the history of
growth of each aspect that requires projection?
• What are the space criteria (square feet per person or unit) for the functions to take
place?
• What other design criteria may affect architectural programming: access to daylight,
acoustics, accessibility, campus/area design guidelines, historic preservation, etc.?
• Are there licensing or policy standards for minimum area for various functions? What
are these standards?
• What are the energy usage and requirements?
• What code information may affect programming decisions?
• Site analysis: the site is always a major aspect of the design problem and therefore
should be included in the program. Site analysis components that often affect design
include:

6. o Legal description
o Zoning, design guidelines, and deed restrictions and requirements
o Traffic (bus, automobile, and pedestrian) considerations
o Utility availability (a potentially high cost item)
o Topography
o Views
o Built features
o Climate (if not familiar to the designer)
o Vegetation and wildlife
• Client's existing facility as a resource
o If the client is already participating in the activities to be housed in the new facility, it
may be possible to make use of information at hand. Determine if the existing facility
is satisfactory or obsolete as a resource.
o If a floor plan exists, do a square foot take-off of the areas for various functions.
Determine the building efficiency (the ratio of existing net-to-gross area). This ratio is
useful in establishing the building efficiency target for the new facility.
o If the client is a repeat builder (school districts, public library, public office building,
etc.), obtain plans and do area take-offs; determine typical building efficiencies.
o Use the existing square footages for comparison when you propose future amounts of
space. People can relate to what they already have. (See illustration above in Step 5,
Determine quantitative requirements.)
4.Identify strategies
• Centralization and decentralization: What function components are grouped
together and which are segregated? For example, in some offices the copying function
is centralized, while in others there are copiers for each department.
• Flexibility: What types of changes are expected for various functions? Do facilities
need to change over a period of a few hours? A few days? A summer recess? Or is an
addition what is really needed?
• Flow: What goods, services, and people move through the project? What is needed at
each step of the way to accommodate that flow?
• Priorities and phasing: What are the most important functions of the project? What
could be added later? Are there ongoing existing operations that must be maintained?
• Levels of access: Who is allowed where? What security levels are there?
5.Determine quantitative requirements
